Very interesting Mar! Have you read The Filter Bubble? It's not just that we're choosing to create an information world tailored to our biases, it's also that, in the interest of efficiency, our internet tools are also tailoring our information world to our biases. What you Google and what I Google may not be the same, even if we use exactly the same search... Identifying your own bias has become more difficult, finding information that challenges it is also more difficult.
